Saddam Slept Here
</hdr><body>
<p>By David Ellis/Reported by Sidney Urquhart
</p>
<p> Saddam can seek shelter in a palace bunker some 40 miles out
of Baghdad, but allied forces are unlikely to find him there.
During wartime, the Iraqi leader makes a habit of hiding in
civilian areas. A Shi`ite opposition leader recalls that his
cousin's family was rousted by soldiers at dawn several years
ago. The group was sent to Baghdad's Al Rasheed Hotel for the
next 24 hours before being permitted to return home. Only then
did government officials tell the family that Saddam had spent
the previous evening in its quarters. In thanks for the coerced
hospitality, he sent the family a suite of designer furniture.
